Facebook's Completely New Class Of Apps. Next up at f8, Zuckerberg introduced new kinds of apps that would let you "discover new things through your friends" and through serendipity, the magic that powers Groupon, Rhapsody and others. As a primer to that, Zuckerberg announced that in place of the ubiquitous "Like," users could get creative with verbs: "Read," "Watch," "Listened" and others would come to Facebook. "You can define an action and publish it, it's simple but really really powerful," Zuckerberg said. Spotify is the first confirmed music app that will be part of Facebook. With Spotify and the new Ticker, users will be able to view and listen to the music—in real time-that their friends are listening to. "It's amazing how much music you can discover through your friends," Zuckerberg said. —NS

Mark Zuckerberg Shows Us His Timeline, Reports. Mark Zuckerberg has debuted Timeline, the new iteration of Facebook profile pages, packed with apps and a more permanent place for your interests. Apps now feed the Timeline, and Timelines are collected in "Reports." And it's all under a giant new "Cover Photo." There's even a new permissions screen aimed, presumably, at staving off privacy concerns. "This is exactly how you want to browse through time," Zuckerberg told the audience at the f8 developers conference. "This is a great way to discover what people have done their whole life." —TG

Facebook's Music System Leaks. Via a Facebook employee's tweet feed (oh, the irony!) details have emerged ahead of today's expected reveal of Facebook's high-profile music streaming service. Ji Lee, a creative director formerly from Google, tweeted "'Listen with your friend' feature in ticker is blowing my mind. Listen to what your friends are listening. LIVE." and then deleted it, but not before it was spotted and shared via Twitter's more open forum than Facebook's. —KE
